The weight of almonds was 4,547,-
6S3 pounds in 1887, and $40, 1886
pounds in 1886.
Thus it appears that during the
year ending on the 1st OF last June
there were brought into the United
States nearly $l5, 100000 worth OF
dried and green fruits and nuts, the
production of nearly all of which has
gained considerable Importance and
extent in California. In nearly all
cases, as we remarked above, the i'm
portation is increasing in spite of CAL
ifornia's contributions to the national
supplies. 1t certainly does not ap-
pear that California's work in this di-
rection is likely to be overdone, pro-
viding we can stand competition with
foreign producers in the matter of
cost as to style or quality, we are
sure we can excel"
HOW IT PAYS.
The prospective profits to our people
from the above exhibit is something
by no means disturbing to the mind.
With gap like the above to fill there
is room to increase the present output
of our orchards to an indefinite de-
gree. While the demand shall con-
tinue at SO active pitch, prices must
remain firm as rock. At current
rates oranges pay an annual revenue
of $3.50 to $3.50 per acre, according to
the variety planted, the location Sc
lected and the care taken of the trees.
The returns from grapes range at from
500 an acre for wine uses, to $500 for
shipping purposes and even more
for raisins, where the grower cures his
own fruit. If the grape grower will
make his own wine the net results
will be not less than $3.50 per acre
yearly. Peaches, apricots, pears and
other deciduous fruits are scarcely less
profitable than the other products of
the soil commented on above. Any
one can figure up how many pounds
of potatoes grow to an acre, or the
amount of cabbage produced on
given area. The former sell here at
l cent to l = cent per pound most of
the year, and cabbage pays better
than potatoes.
Glance at the future, when from
a score of points in California
solid trains of fruits and vegetables
should be shipped to the East and it
will appear that riches will be gath
cred from the soil and roll into the
the State in volumes more Pactolean
than even the Bonanza mines ever pro-
duced. Besides the commodities
above there will be peas, beans, cauli-
flower, green peppers and many others
of the edible vegetable tribe. The
mind can hardly do justice to the gi-
gantic proportions of this business in
the immediate future.

This shows that, notwithstanding
the respectable figures which our pro-
duction of these fruits is reaching, the
importation of them is increasing.
Even reckoned on the basis of value,
this appears, and if figured in weight
the increase would be greater, for the
prices or valuation per pound is shown
to be less this year than last. The
deduction would be that the popula-
ton OF the country, or at least the con-
sumptive demand for these articles is
increasing faster than the California
production of them. This is hope
ful condition of affairs for California
as it postpones indefinitely the time
when our product shall over-supply
the demand for this country. Al
though we look forward to ultimately
turning hither the millions which are
now going to the Mediterranean re-
gions for these fruits, we can well
afford to wait for the victory, which
will be all the greater when it comes.
To the prune-growers especially the
figures are comforting, for although
they may be forced to take compare
lively low prices for their fruit, the
prospect for actual over-production Of
prunes seem quite remote, as the
United States imported nearly mil
lion dollars worth more in 1887 than
the year before. The importation Of
semi-tropical fruits and grapes also
reach interesting figures, as follows:

wired to the papers of this State and
which appeared in the HERALD:
"Fruit dealers have been placed in
an unprecedented situation. Except
in California the fruit crops through
out the country have virtually been
ruined. In Chicago, or elsewhere, the
stock Of dried and preserved goods is
about exhausted, and, owing to the
scarcity Of labor on the Pacific coast.

Paw Paw went to Decatur last Friday to
down the kickers but after winning the
game, they had TO give it back. They'll
learn, after while, that Decatur has every
thing "cut and dried" beforehand, and that
it is impossible to win a game with Decatur
umpire. Those from this place who wit
messed the game were disguised with the
umpiring. Paw Paw was treated just the
same as clubs usually are when they play
bali at Decatur.

Who Can voter

At the recent annual school meeting held
in this village, question was raised as to
who were qualified to vote. There was a
difference of opinion between the members
of the board and, not having the statutes at
hand for reference, the question remained
undecided.
In the first place, there is no distinction of
sex in regard to voters at an annual school
meeting, which is one place, at least, where
the law fully recognizes women's rights"
In the second place, no man or woman has
a right to vote on any question before the
meeting unless he or she shall be twenty-one
years of age and shall have been a resident
of the district, or on territory belonging to
the district at the date OF the meeting, for q
period of three months next preceding such
meeting.
In the third place, no man or woman has
any legal right to vote at such meeting on
any question whatever, unless he or she shall
have property liable to assessment for school
taxes in such district, or else shall be the
parent or legal guardian of a child or child
rem included in the school census of such
district. Taxpayers who are of legal age and
residence may vote on all questions that may
come before the meeting; parents and guard
ians who are not liable to assessment fol-
school tax may vote on all questions that dc
not directly involve the raising of money by
tax.
It will be noticed that a man may be q
legal voter at a town meeting or general
election and not at a school meeting. A mar
not liable to assessment for school tax anC
not parent or legal guardian of child oil
children included in the school census, has
no right to vote at school meeting, although
he may be legal voter at all other public
elections

The Weather Crop BuIletin.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 29.-The fol-
lowing is the weather crop bulletin, issued
by the signal office to-day, for the week
ending May -;
Temperature-During the week ending
MAY 2Sth, the weather has been slightly
warmer than usual in the Mississippi val
ley and thence westward tO the Pacific
coast, and from Southern New England
westward over New York and pennsylya-
MIA. The week has been slightly cooler
than usual in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nir-
ginia and in the South Atlantic
States, but in all agricultural dis
triCts east of the Rocky Mountains average
temperature for the week differs slightly
from normal. In Oregon, Washington
Territory, and northern California, the ex-
cess of temperature ranges from - degrees
to 80 degrees. The season from January
lst to May 2S has been slightly warmer
than usual in the grain and tobacco regions,
while the average daily excess in the cot
ton region has been from l.5 degrees To ,
degrees.
Rain fall-During the week the rain fall
has been slightly in excess OF the average
in the cotton regions from Texas eastward
To Georgia and generally in New England,
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Frequent showers occurred i'll the corn and
wheat regions where the total rain tall fer
the week, although we'll distributed was
slightly below the normal. Kansas has
been favored by rain falls in excess
of the average. In the cotton regions
the rain falls were in excess at normal, eS-
pecially in the western portions. Owing
to the favorable distribution Of the rain
fall, the season at deficiency in TenneS-
see of fifteen inches appears rs yet, unln-
furious in the cotton regions.
General remarks-ThroughOut the en-
tire agricultural districts the weather has
proved especially favorable for growing
crops, and reports Of Sunday morning,
Nav -, show that favorable conditions OF
rain fall and temperature yet continue,
except in Michigan, Illinois and Southern
Minnesota, where the needed showers are
to-day predicted.
